It becomes every citizen in Jack**
on to do all within his power—put
his shoulder to the wheel —and pusn
lor Jackson Institute. Six years
ago when it was decided to build
the Institute, tho people v ere called
Upon to subscribe to the building
fund with the understanding that
no other school should be supported
or even tolerated in the town. Our
citizens subscribed liberally (it has
amounted to nothing but a dona
tion) with tho on* idea in view,
that ol building upoi e of the finest
schools in Middle Georgia.
Now, while vacation is going on
and all school affairs are at a stand*
still, we deem it our duty as journ
alist, who has and has ever had the
best welfare of Jackson at heart, to
urge upon every ene te give no en
eeuragemefit whatever to any other
school but Jackson Institute, Oth*
•r schools may be organized in a
■nail way, but however small they
may be they will to some extent
impair the usefulness of this great
centime of til business enterprises of
our town. We do not know that
anything of the k*nd will be at
tempted, but simply throw out
these hints for the good of all con
earned United, we stand; divided,
we fli, is as true as preaching.
Uuiied in toto on Jackson Institute
we will soon have a school second
to noue, butao sure as little schools
spring up and are supported our
school interests go down and then
•very other interest in town will be
crippled. By all means let us stand
together.

The dwellers in the torrid North

If a woman cannot reform a man
before she n arries him, then she
may be certain that after marrage

This idea of marrying a drunkard
to roform him is poor business, as

their sorrow.

EFFECT OF THE SHERMAN
LAW.
It is clear, then, that the Sherman
law is a scheme for forcing the gov
ernment to pay gold coin to mine
owner3 for their silver bullion,
which bullion is stored away in the
treasury vaults, and the government
can get the gold coin with which to
pay in onlv two ways, by taxation
of the people or by sale ol bonds,
which in turn must eventually be
paid by 6uch taxation. Moreover
the bulhon stored away thus is
constantly sinking in value on the
hands of the government. Does
any one wonder that our whole fi
nancial structure is becoming sus
pected and unsafe, when before our
own eyes its foundations are being
undermined? How long can the
government go on paying gold coin
for silver bullion and preserve “its
established policy” of maintaining
the parity of the two metals at the
existing legal ratio? How long can
we go on narrowing the base and
widening the top of our building
without having it topple in ruius
upon our heads?—Baltimore Sun.
AN ENTERTAINMENT.
The Misses Lee gave an informal enter
tainment on Tuesday, complimentary to
Misces Dunbar, of Byron, .Brown, of Car*
rollton, and Daisy Davie, of Bexington.
It was an assemblage of rare beauty,
and foi the first time since their return, the
many sincere and admiring fjiends of the
college girls—the “sweet summer girl”
welcomed them back.
On this occasion 71/iss Agues Carmi
chael was greeted cordially by all, and was
charmingly sweet man organdie of spot
less punty, reminding one of a dainty
snowball.
Miss Clyde McCallum is also home again
and was attired in a dainty white swiss, no
ticeable for its girlish simplicity. Miss
McCallum is so gracious and affable that
she wins the admiration of all around her*
Afiss Daisy Davie, a beautiful, piquant
little lady, was sweet and fair in a silk of
peach blow hue, lighting up the blue-bell
eyes and rose-leaf complexion. fFith her
pleasing manners, we bespeak for her a
charming stay in our little town.
Miss Cora Dunbar w r as elegantly dressed
in a creamy silk with elaborate trimmings
of lace. Her ornaments were pink rose
buds. Miss Dunbar is a perfect blonde,
with sweet blue eyes and a mantle of
sheeny golden tresses.
Miss Lizzie Bro vn, of Carrollton, wore
a silk, as soft as summer skies, over which
was cast a pinkish g,ow as if caught and
imprisoned from the sunset’s hue. She
wore pink roses in her nut brown hair.
Miss Brown is a young lady of stately
grace, and a wonderously sweet disposi
tion.
THEN AND NOW.
There is a vast difference between
the ante-bellum customs and those
of the present day.
The South has uot been benefited
by some of these latter-day innova
tions.
Years ago a man who went from
corner to corner gossiping about
women, carried his life in his
hands.
The street gossip was yery rare.
Now he is to be seen in every
town, and he plies his vocation
with no thought of evil consequen
ces, to himself. The era of chivalry
swetn to have been supplanted, in a
great measure by the era oi com
merce.
If this order of things continues
the day will come when southern
chivalry will be a thing of the past
a beautiful dream.
Years ago if a man's name was
connected in an improper way with
that of a good and pure woman, the
traducer had to answer for his crime
at the muzzle ot a gun. Whether
the woman was related to him or
not, she was defended in a knightly
manner. That custom made it un
necessary for the aid of the press to
be invoked in stopping street gos
sip. Mon were very, very, careful.
Now a woman's name is passed
from lip to hp and whole communi
ties discuss her, in clubs aud other
public places. It is a direful piece
ol business, at best, but if the wo
man is innocent it is simply horri
ble. How can the public be expec
ted to accept simple denials of guilt
and stop surmising, as long as men
seem disposed to let the originators
of scandals pass unnoticed. If a
mar. is innocent he can best estab
lish this fact by defending the wo
man that has beon wronged, as be
comes a gentleman.
Tbis will stop gossip. It is the
o-ily thing that will call a halt. But
one should always he sure that he is
innocent.—Atlanta Herald

A STROKE OF ENTERPRISE
The E. T. V. <k G. R’y Inaugurates
Through Trains Between The
Bunny South and the
World's Fair City,
Two Elegant Vestibule Trains
Every Day.
An Enterprising Management.
On May 28th, the F. T. Y. & G. R’y
inaugurated through train service be
tween Atlanta and Chicago. This is
the first step in this direction that lias
ever been taken and it is something
that will be appreciated by the travel
ing public. The first train is called
“THE W ORLD S FAIR SPECIAL,’*
and leaves Macon 3;25 a. m., Atlanta
6:35 a. nr, running solid to Cincinna
ti and carrying sleepers through to
to Chicago via the C. 21. & D. and
Monon, arriving at Chicago the next
morning at 7:59.
The second train is the “CHICAGO
LIMITED” which leaves Macoii at
11-10 a. m. arrives in Atlanta 1-55 p.
in., leaves 2-10 p. in. arrives at Chica
go uext after-noon 4-40 p. m. This
train runs solid hetweeu Macon and
Chicago and is composed of United
St tes mail car, baggage car, elegant
(lay coaches, Pullman and Wagnor
sleeping cars ruuniug via the Big
Four Route from Cinbinnati. Upon
its arrival at Cincinnati at 6-25 a. m.
an elegant diniug car is attached
which is carried to Chicago. The in
auguration of this service makes niis
conneetiou impossible as is liable to
occur by other lines. Now is the time
to go to the WORLD'S FAIR, and in
the language of the E. T. V. &. G
Management they can take you there
“will all the comforts of home.” The
E. T. Y. & G. is the only line having
exclusive use of one of Chicago’s fia
est hotels in which passengers can
have rooms reserved before leaving
home. It is the Hotel Ingram situa
ted opposite the World’s Fair entrance
and the tlirongh train via the E. T. V.
&G. lands passengers within two
blocks of this Hotel, thus saving the
expense and trouble of trausfering.
The Ingram was not built as a tempo
ral y World’s Fair Hotel but it is a
permanent structure built of stone
and richly furtiishe o The World’s
Fair Commission is n w preparing a
circular which they will mail to all
four quarters of the Globe contradict
ing the statement that the Fair is in
an incomplete condition, and also that
exorbitant prices are being charged
for accommodation etc., and the trav
el is sure to increase when the public
gets this information.
Parties addressing Mr. J. J. Farns
worth, Division Passenger agent 621-
Equitable building, Atlanta, Ga., can
secure a prompt answer to any ques
tion relating to the route, rates, sched
ules, hotel rates, sleeping car fare, in
feet any thing else necessary to out
line a trip, and if desire one of the E.
T. V & G traveling men will go to to
any point and personaly attend to aU
the wants of passengers.
ROBERT.
The three year old stallion
weighing between fourteen and
fifteen hundred pounds is 15-16
Clyde. He was sired by a thor
oughbred Clyde, in a dam 3-4
Clyde. He is perfectly sound
and trained to work in single and
double harneis. Ho is a dark
chestnut brown, bail faced. The
Clyde is superior to the Norman
in that, while he has all the Nor
man’s draught qualities he can
travel with auy other breed. He
was brought by me to this state
from northern Illinois for my
own use, but owing to a change
in business I have decided to sell
him. I would prefer someone
would buy him who would keep
him in the community, for it
there is any thing we need here
it is better stock on our farms.
For further information call on
me at the old Wolfe place one
and a half miles west of town or
address me at Jackson, Butts
county Ga.
Parties desiring the service of
my horse can be accommodated

MR, MCCANDLESS REPLIES.
Mr. Editob:— ln your is me of
last week there appears an editorial
on the Alliance Warehouse, in
which so many misleading and
reckless statemen ts are made that
i* the interest of truth and justice
some reply seems to be called for.
The article begins with the state
ment that “last year tnere was some
discord in the warehouse and the
patronage fell ofl 50 per cent,”
Nothing however is said of the fact
thnt the reciepts of the town fell off
50 pe- cent, also the causes of which
are apparent to the meat superficial
observer. Of course the warehouse
suffered with tnetown. I do not de
ny that some few men allowed their
prejudices to govern thuo* and
turned their backs upon the great
Christian Tir.nc’ple involved in this
business, that of mutual help and
but I believe most of
them are now ashamed of such nar
row and prejudiced action.
Tha article further says the
• Slock certificate# are non-interest
bearing and unsatisfactory as an
investment.” No well informed
Allianceman regards the certificates
as an investment at all. but only as
an evidence of how much
of the nndevided profits
are his. The profitableness of the
investment would have been shown
if the writer bud said with an in
vestment of S2OOO in three years the
profits ha ve been $2850.00. show
ing an average of 47 per cent, per
annum on the investment. If this
is unaatisfactoiy it’s hard to pay
what would satisfy.
The next a sertion fr unmiti
gated gall is monumental. * Hesiys
‘So the leader# of the orderin Butts
county have, decided to disburse the
■urplus now on - hand.’' Who I
pray you Mr. Editor are these Cae
sars who have grown so great, that
no meeting of the people is needed
to decide thif question so vital to
them? Who are these iren who
carry the Bette county Alliance in
their pockets?
The writer then says w§ are in fa
vor of disbursing the suiplu9 and'
we beli# ve tha* every other man
with no axe to grind favors dis
burßement. This reminds us of the
cry stop thief just as though it was
impossible for ’ the advocate of dis
bursement to have an axe to grind
also. There may be more than
one axe ground if disbursement
is accomplished and the poorer
members of the Alliance will turn
the grindstone;' and in my opinion
will continue to turn it the balance
of their lives if they consent to
throw away th*’ tool now in their
hands with which they can work
out theii* salvation. And all the
brother Bennetts in the order will
find out if they will have a little
patience that united capital earning
47 per cent, per annum when owned
by the people is as powerful to
build up. protect and dignify as eel
fish combinations of cat ital are to
oppress, destroy and degrade.
The nggregation-ia what giyes it its
power, good or evil. By
disbursement it is shorn of power
for the accomplishment of great en
terprises. Disbursement would
take tbe heart and hope out of co
operative effort' here and would set
such a preedent as would forever be
in our wav in spy future effort to
build up a working capital.
Let us then in this hour rally
around the“ Central principle of our
order, that of unity as {opposed to
dismemberment. Let us not discour
age our fellow workers by any lack
of fidelity on our part to this great
principle, so powerful for good
whether applied to men or money,

THE SUPERIOR MEDICINE.
An Atlanta Remedy which has iStood the
Test, and Stands in .Front.
[From the Atlanta C-. nstitutiou. ]
People who buy blood purifying and
building up remedies, should not forget
that old time-honored and thoroughly test
ed remedy, Botanic Blood Ealin (‘‘B. B.
B.”) made in Atlanta for the past forty
years, by Dr , L* M. Gillam and his asso
ciates. This remedy is not a trashy rune
dy, made and heralded to sell, with the
inducement of a large number ©f doses for
a small amount of money, but is a scien
tific compound, made from an approved
formula and tested materials. It is the
best remedy ever devised for the speedy
and permanent cure for all skin an blood
diseases, from the simplest pimple to the
foulest ulcer. One bottle of it possesses
more curative virtues and building up
properties than a dozen of any other sim
ilar remedy. It is sold by druggist at one
dollar per large bottle. Try this incom
parable remedy, It is a Southern medi
cine made to cnre as well as to sell,
A trial of a single bottle will prove its ef
ficacy. The Blood Balm Cos, will send a
book of wonderful cures t all who write
for it.
It is a fine tonic as well as a splendid
blood purifier.
